00:00:12Hello. Welcome back. Both Ukraine and Russia have continued
00:00:16continued their strikes on each other other overnight. Ships in a warehouse
00:00:20warehouse struck in Odesa. The images images you're seeing here show firefighters
00:00:23firefighters tackling fire at a warehouse warehouse in the region after a Russian
00:00:26Russian strike. The Russian city
00:00:29city of Taganrog also came under under a large-scale Ukrainian drone
00:00:33drone attack. Meanwhile, the head head of Ukraine's state Post Office
00:00:36Office has told the BBC Russia is is deliberately targeting his branches
00:00:40branches and delivery vans. Igor Igor Smelyansky said this was because
00:00:44because his staff provided a lifeline lifeline for millions left isolated
00:00:47isolated by the war. Our diplomatic diplomatic correspondent James Landale Landale has been out on the road
00:00:51road in Ukraine. He's been meeting meeting some of the posts men and
00:00:53and women who deliver more than just
00:00:56just parcels. This is all that's.
00:00:59that's. Left of Katarina's Post Office.
00:01:01Office. Widowed by war. Forced from from her home. It was in this building
00:01:05building she rebuilt her life until
00:01:08until March when a Russian drone
00:01:10drone struck targeting soldiers who'd
00:01:12who'd worked nearby. So that was
00:01:15was your desk? Yeah. From here. For
00:01:19For two years, she served as the
00:01:21the village postmistress. It's a
00:01:23a great pity for me to lose this
00:01:26this room. This was your life. This
00:01:28This was your work? Yeah yeah, I.
00:01:32I. Didn't visit this room. It's the
00:01:36the first time. Today, Katerina's
00:01:40Katerina's new office is this van.
00:01:42van. One of thousands of mobile branches branches providing vital services
00:01:45services to people on the margins
00:01:47margins of society. And they don't don't just deliver parcels. Most
00:01:50Most here in this village near Zaporizhzhia Zaporizhzhia are collecting pensions
00:01:54pensions or paying bills. It's a
00:01:57a long way for us to travel to Zaporizhzhia,
00:02:01Zaporizhzhia, especially now at a a time when there are attacks all
00:02:04all around. They also deliver medicines
00:02:07medicines and food and something
00:02:09something more intangible. It's very
00:02:12very important. It's one of the few few joys of the month. You come out,
00:02:15out, have a chat with people, collect
00:02:17collect your pension and go on. For
00:02:21For security, Katerina travels with with Slava, who's armed, and they
00:02:24they go from home to home helping
00:02:27helping those most in need. Where
00:02:28Where would you be without Kate?
00:02:33Kate? We would be stuffed. Ukraine
00:02:36Ukraine is a vast rural country made
00:02:38made up of thousands of remote villages villages just like this. And the
00:02:41the Postal Service is part of the the glue that holds it all together.
00:02:45together. And for these people, not not too far from the front line,
00:02:50line, this van can be their last last link to the Ukrainian state.
00:02:53state. What do you think people here
00:02:55here think about you. Know, they
00:02:58they are proud of me. They love me.
00:03:05me. Are they need me. But this is
00:03:09is dangerous work. Russia has destroyed destroyed hundreds of branches and
00:03:13and vans and more than 50 postmen postmen and women have lost their
00:03:17their lives. Supply some region. region. Plan B. The head of Ukrposhta
00:03:20Ukrposhta told me they were deliberately deliberately targeted and he faced
00:03:23faced a daily decision about where
00:03:25where to deploy his teams. If we we don't go, they don't have basic
00:03:29basic supply, they don't have food, food, they don't have medicine. I
00:03:32I mean, people will struggle if we
00:03:35we do go. They may delay the decision
00:03:38decision to evacuate from the areas
00:03:39areas they probably should have evacuated. evacuated. For their safety. Katerina
00:03:43Katerina and Slava have just one
00:03:45one antenna to detect drones. Do
00:03:47Do you not feel scared? No. Why not?
00:03:53not? It's my work. Yeah yeah. If
00:04:01If I can't, who will do my job? Ukraine's
00:04:05Ukraine's defence comes in many forms forms and it's not always delivered
00:04:08delivered at the barrel of a gun.
00:04:10gun. James Landale, BBC News near
00:04:13near Zaporizhzhia. To Yemen now. now. And the United Nations has described
00:04:17described an influx of refugees fleeing
00:04:19fleeing the fighting in Yemen to
00:04:22to Djibouti as unexpected. More than
00:04:24than 2000 crossing the Red Sea since since last Thursday. Officials are
00:04:27are warning that thousands more could could arrive if the fighting continues.
00:04:31continues. And the news comes as as Bloomberg reports that Saudi Arabia
00:04:34Arabia has requested operational operational assistance from Britain. Britain. The military and diplomatic
00:04:38diplomatic support is to counter counter the Houthis advance along
00:04:41along Yemen's Red Sea coast towards towards the strategic Bab al-Mandab
00:04:44al-Mandab Strait, as well as to help help protect its oil infrastructure
00:04:47infrastructure from Houthi attacks. attacks. Our correspondent Richard Richard Kagoe is following developments
00:04:51developments for us from Nairobi.
00:04:54Nairobi. Well, the UN in Djibouti Djibouti is saying that they are
00:04:58are currently overwhelmed by the the influx of refugees who are fleeing
00:05:01fleeing the fighting in Yemen, saying
00:05:04saying that they have so far received
00:05:07received about 2400. But the authorities authorities in Djibouti indicating
00:05:10indicating that there are thousands
00:05:13thousands more, about 3400 and more more are still coming. What they're
00:05:16they're saying is that the town of of Obock, which is literally on the
00:05:20the front line in terms of this response,
00:05:23response, is currently overwhelmed overwhelmed because you're having
00:05:26having majority of them who are children. children. They say that the children
00:05:30children on arrival appear to be
00:05:32be stressed. Also, at the same time,
00:05:34time, they appear to be very tired tired and but there's a sense of
00:05:38of relief from them. The fact that that they have been able to escape
00:05:41escape the war and successfully navigated
00:05:44navigated the waters across the Red Red Sea. So currently what they're
00:05:47they're doing is they're doing registration, registration, providing them with
00:05:51with water, with food and other
00:05:56supplies. Do they have what they they need in order to help these these people though, Richard. Because
00:05:59Because were there not already thousands thousands of refugees that the country
00:06:03country was having to host and deal
00:06:05deal with? Yeah, actually, that's
00:06:08that's the major concern by the authorities authorities in Djibouti as well as
00:06:12as aid partners, because currently
00:06:14currently Djibouti hosts nearly about
00:06:16about 36,000 refugees. So these are are largely displaced people from
00:06:20from Eritrea, from Somalia and also
00:06:22also Ethiopia. And it also includes
00:06:25includes asylum-seekers. So they're they're saying currently they are
00:06:28are stretched to capacity. And what what they're saying is that they're
00:06:31they're currently need about 3 million million USD for them to be able to
00:06:35to accommodate the current lot that that has just arrived in Djibouti.
00:06:38Djibouti. And also those that are are anticipated to be coming in the
00:06:42the coming days because we listen listen to the Unicef local representative
00:06:45representative in Djibouti, speaking speaking to the BBC earlier today
00:06:48today saying that they're expecting
00:06:51expecting anything between 5000 to to 10,000 new arrivals in the coming
00:06:54coming days if the fighting continues. continues. And what is the latest
00:06:57latest from Yemen itself, Richard, Richard, in terms of the Houthis
00:07:01Houthis advance along the Red Sea
00:07:03Sea coast? Well, the fierce fighting
00:07:08fighting is continuing. What we are
00:07:09are hearing at the moment is that
00:07:12that the Houthi militias have attacked
00:07:15attacked the southern province of
00:07:17of the Saudi kingdom. About 13 people people there have been wounded. The

00:14:01Really. It's just such a broad subject subject sometimes as science story
00:14:05story can seem quite abstract, and and once I've got my head around
00:14:08around the story, it's really my my job to try and guide the audience
00:14:11audience step by step through it.
00:14:14it. But it's not just about explaining
00:14:16explaining or understanding the difficult
00:14:18difficult concepts. It's also about about explaining why it matters.
00:14:21matters. What I want to do was to

00:14:44Artemis II mission is just the start.
